After another look, it "may" not be safe, but then clkpm_default
should be documented
as /* Clock PM state at last boot */ because I don't think it is the
*default* state. Please,
let me know what I missing, I list below my reasons: (pardon the repetitions)
- I agree that clkpm_default current stores the boot time value.
- currently, the value of clkpm_default reflect the value of
PCI_EXP_LNKCAP_CLKPM
(read-only) and PCI_EXP_LNKCTL_CLKREQ_EN (writable)
- calling pcie_set_clkpm() can change the "default" state in the
firmware and it is stored
in clkpm_enable until the next boot, when clkpm_enable = clkpm_default
- if the "default" state is changed after boot then its initial value
stored in clkpm_default is
lost at reboot.
- IMO the intention of calling pcie_set_clkpm() is to set the default
value on the firmware.
We may need another function to set clkpm to a *temporary state*
that may at any time
be different from the value in the firmware.
- Currently, clkpm_enable always reflect the value in the firmware and
the may be different
from the value of clkpm_default.
- If clkpm_default does not reflect the value in the firmware after
boot, it feels to me like it is
not the *default* value
- I also think that clkpm_enabled is supposed to be a sort of
*temporary/current state* that
may or may not be stored as the default. Although, I am not sure why
it will be needed!
